Best

I always eat here in The Capital Grille. The food is very tasty. Also the crew is very friendly to the customers.

Worst

Overall I liked this facility and thought the food was pretty good. For the money I would like to see better food but it is a nice addition to the area. Pros: A nice addition...

Stuff and Overrated 12/6/2007

The food is typical of a chain restaurant, over expensive, average quality, nonchalant service, bad wine selection. more

Great for Large Events 11/13/2007

I had a large party event at The Capital Grille and it was wonderful. We had a really nice table in one of their private rooms. The atmosphere was perfect. The moment we walked in the door we were greeted with warm smiles. Once at the table we were greeted by two very knowledgable servers. They helped us pick the perfect wine and appetizers for the group. They also recommended some great dinner entrees. Everything was perfect. Everyone in the group enjoyed their time at The Capital Grille. We will have ALL of our events there from now on!! more

Amazing!!! 11/13/2007

I had an important dinner at The Capital Grille the other evening. Everything was amazing! The staff was very helpful and the food was even better. Our clients were so impressed with this restaurant. They said it was the best service and food that they had in a long time. We really enjoyed ourselves. I will be back. more

Extremely disappointed with large party celebration dinner 11/5/2007

I had been told by everyone in the area that it was a must to have a 60th birthday celebration for my mother. 15 of us booked a table and were excited to enjoy the experience of this wonderful restaurant. I ordered a bottle of champaign that cost approximately $250.00 and instead of bring out out the bottle I chose, the wait staff came out with trays of glasses filled. It made me question what was being served. I then ordered a large bottle of sparkling water for myself that cost $10.00, which was absolutely normal for the water I ordered., but then next thing I know the wait staff came out with 7 bottles and poured them into everyone's water glasses. People in the party told them they didn't want any water so they left the 7 bottles opened on the table and walked away. $70.00 for water is a bit expensive. The 3 lb lobster I ordered was amazing but I did have to ask for lemon and butter. Something that has always been served with any lobster I have ever ordered. For those of you that have ate here can only imagine what the cost of dinner for 15 people came to. When I told the staff this was a celebration for my mother's 60th birthday, they brought out the dessert menus so we could order individual desserts. I couldn't believe they wouldn't have brought out some tiny piece of cake for my mom's birthday. Due to this experience, which truly is a shame, I will not be returning. more

I never want to eat anywhere else!! 6/25/2007

My husband and I went to the Capital Grille a few nights ago for our one year anniversary. I just have to say, I don't know how I can ever go to another restaurant and be satisfied, knowing what great service and food would await me at the Capital Grille. We had the best evening ever!! Our server was knowlegable and friendly, he even took a picture of us at the end of our meal as a momento (and printed it out!) The manager came by to wish us a Happy Anniversary and made great conversation. The food, oh boy the food, the best meal I've ever had hands down. Needless to say, I have a reservation there for lunch next week with a client and the week after with my husband again. I almost feel deprived that I hadn't discovered this restaurant sooner! I'm a new regular!! Pros: Great for romance or business!! Either way get a Stoli Doli!! more

Best Food, Customer Service, Atmosphere!!!! 6/24/2007

I went to The Capital Grille for a private event. The room was amazing. We all had a wonderful time! I had a dry aged steak and have never tasted a steak so juicy and flavorful. The sides were great! The dessert is homemade in the restaurant. We got a platter so we could try all of the desserts. They were so good! The atmosphere was great. The private room our group dined in was beautiful. We also had after dinner drinks in the beautiful lounge. The stoli doli is the best drink I have ever had. To top this wonderful food off, the staff is so friendly and helpful. They are right there before you ever need to ask for anything. This is an upscale resturant but the servers are so friendly, not stuffy like other upscale restaurants I have been to. I will go here for all of my special occasions, business dinners, and more!!! You have to try this place!!! Pros: Its the best!!!! more

Great Steak, great Martinis, extensive wine list! 5/18/2007

We went for my husband's birthday and we had a great meal. We were 15 minutes early and they had our table ready but offered to seat us at the bar or table, whichever we preferred. The service was excellent, with multiple people serving our table. They decorated the table with confetti, gave a complimentary dessert for my husband, and took/ printed a picture for us to take home. Pros: Filet Oscar, excellent flavor, juicy, cooked perfectly. Stoli Dolis! Cons: Be careful what dessert you order. Ask your server for suggestions. more

OK if you have money to burn 4/8/2007

I tend to agree with ""roadraged. "" The prices are rediculously overinflated. The only thing that set this place apart was the amazing service. But considering just our 20% tip for our dinner-for-two was $30, I can see what motivates the waitstaff. We really could not get what the fuss was about. The waiting area was virtually nonexistent. The bar was noisy, crowded and smoky. Our food was ordinary at best. For at least half the price, we could've gotten a better tasting steak at a nearby steakhouse. Not to mention, during the holiday season, reservations need to be made AT LEAST a month ahead of time. And I definitely discourage bringing chldren. Pros: Fantastic service. Valet parking. Coat check. Cons: Average food. No waiting area. Loud, smoky bar. Rediculously high prices. Easy to pass by on busy downtown Charlotte streets. more

Only the stuffy need attend 3/7/2007

This restaurant is so overrated. I hear all the stuff shirt bankers talk about how fantastic, how great..... oh please. every single time someone want to go out to a place they say there. I know it is for nothing more than to say Oh I went to ""capital Grill"" last night, big deal. The prices are so over inflated, steaks are just OK, appetizers taste frozen and the wine selection is just alright. My husband one of the biggest red meat eaters on the planet has gone away from there saying let's go grab something else after dinner to maybe make me feel satisfied not bloated and robbed after the bill arrives. No different than any other steakhouse in America. Just really a bunch of people who are crying for attention and should be crying from their wallets being emptied. Pros: Great service, good martini's & If you need to feel important for dropping $50 on lunch Cons: Average food, high priced, too stuffy, old banker place more

Try the Stoli Doli! 11/23/2006

Excellent appetizers, entrees and good place for happy hour. Sit at the bar for apps and cocktails if you want a more casual experience. It's pricey but worth it. Get the calamari and try a stoli doli! Pros: Quality food, consistant Cons: Pricey more

excellent fine dining experience 9/12/2006

Ate at the capital grille for the first time for our anniversary and it was excellent. It was a total experience from the start. Made the reservations online and specified that we would be celebrating our anniversary. We were seated at a very nice and romantic table and treated to a complimentary desert. They also had heart confetti sprinkled on the table and the desert was served on a plate that read happy anniversary. They were a bit late when seating us however, they more than made up for it by taking care of the drinks we had ordered while waiting. Service was great as well as the food. Highly recommend the calamari as an appetizer...very tasty!! The wine selection is also wonderful and quite extensive. Highly recommend The Capital Grille, especially if celebrating a special occasion. more

Classy spot for a special occasion 6/10/2006

Made a reservation through the website to take a friend to dinner to celebrate her birthday. Specified a seating preference, which they honored, and specified the nature of the occasion. Was surprised and pleased by the number of small, thoughtful touches--""happy birthday"" confetti waiting for her in the center of our table; a small vase of roses presented to her; a free birthday dessert of her choice. The service was unobtrusive; the food (e.g., lobster bisque as an appetizer, grilled salmon as an entree) was excellent even though we didn't order any of the 'house specialty' steaks; and the birthday honoree indicated she never felt rushed even though it was Saturday night and the restaurant was quite full. Of all the ""special occasion"" meals I've had in Charlotte, the set-up and presentation of this meal outclassed them. The food was perfectly prepared and they graciously accommodated our request to take home leftovers, as the portions were twice the size we needed. Recommend portion size be taken into account in deciding how many menu items to order and in evaluating the price--the quality of the food and the experience made it well worth the money spent. Nice blend of comfortable and elegant; subtle rather than showy. Website describes well the masculine-toned decor and the range of menu items. Pros: Attention to detail, unobtrusive service, food Cons: Request to be seated away from the trophy heads if more

Excellent!!! 9/10/2005

I went to the Capital Grille with my boyfriend because a co-worker reccomended it to us. The dining experience was like none I have ever experienced. Waiting on you hand and foot. Steaks were fantastic. Wine was great and the a la carte was a nice touch. I highly reccomend the Capital Grille for any couple or family. But be prepaired to spend some $$, appetizer, salads, entre, dessert, and cocktails were all $200.00. Oh, and that included a $40 tip. more

Private Room with a view 6/5/2005

I dined at The Capital Grille for the first time last week. I attended a meeting in one of the private rooms and was blown away by the food and service. I can't wait to go back for a romantic dinner or drinks and apps in the lounge! MY NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT! more

Steaks?? 5/16/2004

Ok, the steaks ARE oustanding, especially the delmonico or the filet with the roqufort butter mmmmmmm. And the wine list is never ending. But let's skip around the middle. To start with, the calamari is so yummy....and I don't even like calamari. You can't go wrong with the french onion soup, although I'm not sure how you're supposed to eat it ""properly"" because it's sooo gooey. And to end the evening, PLEASE save room for the homemade cheescake. It truly is sinfully delicious. Word of advice, if you don't have room, get it to go. Pros: service, food more

Best Steak in Charlotte 4/26/2004

I've been to all the 'nice and upscale' steakhouses in Charlotte, and the filet here was by far the best. The other restaurants are not bad, but when you can eat here for the same price, or slightly higher, it only makes sense to get the best for your money. I've eaten here several times, and enjoyed it each time. more
